Steam users have until July 20 to play a few fantastic games entirely for free. While these games aren’t a part of Steam’s free-to-keep promotion, players looking for a hilarious co-op experience to enjoy with their friends over the weekend shouldn’t miss Super Battle Golf‘s free weekend. Additionally, the open-world space survival crafting game Empyrion – Galactic Survival and sci-fi action adventure game MindsEye are also available to play for free until July 20.
Even in the limited time these games will be available to play for free, players should be able to squeeze a lot of content out of them. Super Battle Golf‘s co-op, pick-up-and-play gameplay make it an easy install for a free weekend since players don’t have to worry about not finishing the game in that time. Empyrion – Galatic Survival and MindsEye are more in-depth experiences, but having nearly four days to spend with the games for free is still plenty of time to make some significant progress in a survival crafting or GTA-like game.
